I think older trumpets and cornets were tuned with a long 3rd slide so that the 13 and 123 positions were in tune. New ones are built with the longer shorter 3rd slide so the 23 position would be in tune and you could kick out the slide for tuning the 13 and 123 positions.

Anyway, I don't think anyone at a jazz club would need those notes though. I mean the only notes you need to kick out for are the low d and c#.
